What it is
Granite, marble, sandstone, slate and Kota stone are common building stones. In South India, granite is everywhere: in aggregate, kitchen counters, steps and floors.
Types and key points
- Granite: hard, durable, for counters and steps
- Marble: elegant, softer, stains more easily
- Kota and Tandur stone: economical flooring
- Rough stone in old foundations and walls
Why it matters
Stone lasts generations but must be chosen for where it goes: soft stones stain in kitchens and get slippery outside.
How Elamentt handles it
Granite kitchen counters are in every package, and granite stairs from Signature upwards.
